Prisoners work in an armaments factory. Dachau concentration camp, Germany, between 1940 and 1945.
First off, forced labor was a calculating method of extermination used by the Nazis and on the other hand, it was enforced in order to increase Germany’s capacity for war. Both men and women prisoners were forced to work in the Nazi labor camps. The prisoners mainly worked in industries, but were also sent to do seasonal agricultural work. Their jobs included working in munitions, weapon, vehicle, motor parts, periscope, armament, machinery, airplane, ship, and rocket factories. In the factories, they would repair, disassemble, assemble, and/or produce warfare products for the Nazis. Furthermore, the women prisoners were forced to perform jobs such as clothing repair, cooking, laundry, and they also worked in textile and electrical components factories. Work in the Nazi labor camps were definately also as torturous as the death camps.
